Craig, Your definition matches my definition from 3 years ago, which I had used for a long while until someone told me I'm wrong. Are you on legal discuss? Let's move this over there.

And cannot be put into source control. The spark-kinesis module that was written by the project and does not contain any library code is optional and depends on the library. Building the module dynamically links to the library using the build tools. The module can be distributed in source and convenience binary forms. There are no derived works regarding the library and module.
